PORTLAND COUPLETOURS ON EXPENSE OF $10 A DAY Dr. A- N. Crcadich and Wife Se England and Continent in Comfort and Spend Only $5 Each Daily. T was Just the other day a well- I known Portland man exclaimed on the cost of foreign travel particu larly European travel. "I den't know how It 1," was his comment, "but I do know the brief trip of my wife and myself cost na 10.i0P." "It seems to me that Is Impossible," philosophised his friend. "My wife and I spent three months In Europe, visit ing most of the best-known centers, and I do know our total expenditure from ,Vw York to New York was not over It a day apiece." Pr. A. X. CreadWk rid his wife were the couple who found that 110 a day for two people wa ample for travel abroad. That estimate Is. of course, exclusive of the trip from Portland to Xew Tork, which was estimated at about J100 per person each way. Moreover. Dr. Creadick remarked, there was no attempt to be economical, and In proof of this he instanced that the trip was in the nature of a wedding tour. "Perhaps the secret Is that 'when In Rome, do a the Romans do.'" said Dr. Creadick. "Now in England I always consulted Englishmen regarding tips and ways of travel. I adopted a simi lar plan In Austria, Germany or Italy." "A few things favored us. We were abroad out of the 'season.' Furthermore we kr.ew that the cost of hotel ac commodations must be settled In ad vance." Travel whs invariably second-class on short and first-class on lonsrer trip. On the t'ontlnent It was Invariably second-class." In general. Dr. and Mrs. Creadick lived what is described on the Conti nent as cn pension. This corresponds to an apartment-house hotel run on the American plan. AH over Europe these establishments are famous for the qual ity of their cuisine. While Dr. Creadick's advice Is "while In Paris live as luxuriously as, possible at any rate in a gastronomic way." he happened to run across some friends stnylng on a fashionable steamer with remarkably good rooms and meals for , 15 francs a week. or. in other words. ibout 13. Many students, tie saia. s;ay t the students' hotel at a cost of less than $:. "There lias never been an exaggera tion printed about the necessity for tip ping and Its repetition." said Dr. Crea dick. "but, as a matter of fact, the tip ping evil Is not so great as It sounds. The smallest coins are those best neces sary for tipping. and which, oddly enough, bring the best service, for servants despise those who tip too lav ishly. "And, here's an idea: When a serv ant or employe hastily thrusts his tip Into his pocket, you have tipped too heavily, lie is slipping Ills hand out of sight so that you may not correct vour error. If he holds It shall I say affectionately? he has the right sum. Anyway. I do not think, with the excep tion of the cabbies, who are sharks all the world over, any civil person will ever hear or experience the abuse which some Munchausens describe on their trips abroad. "What seem the largest tips are the honortums one is forced to disburse on board ship. But unless one wants to make a special Idiot of himself, he will stick to the accepted amount of $3. "For instance, with my wife and my self. I gave the stateroom steward. 17.50. the stewardess 1 5. the table stew ard $10. which Is practically all that Is required. "At home Americans have to po to the best hotels. Abroad If tney want to get the best advantage of thi trip they need to be acclimatized." lie -continued. "Now I wanted to learn tlv languages." Dr. Creadick had evidently succeeded, for he spoke fluently In two languages while the interviewer was present ,nH t siiao wanted to know Just how people lived In each country ROYALTY FINDS QUIET RETREAT AT ST. RAPHAEL Titled Persons and Men of Wealth Enjoy Life Amid Golf Links, Tennis Courts, Croquet Grounds and Motor Roads. GKIOIAXY.' HT rn.VXi'ES M. DBBOKR1NG. ST. RAPHAEL is a place of much consolation. Extraordinarily beau tiful In surroundings. It is as yet unspoilt, a joy to the many who deplore the evcr-lncrcaslng conversion of small townships of primitive loveli ness Into crowded resorts of artificial gayety and fashion. Here no Casino rear it white allur ing facade with be-buttoned pages to fling vide the door leading to halls and stage, and to Inner sanctums where the silence I ehleflv broken by the click of the little white ball, mid the strident cry "Rlen ne va plus!" But let it not be supposed that St. Raphael I dull. Far from it. A large colony of residents of a sociable dis position, mostly English and American, luxuriate in villas with spreading gar dens where forest trees, guarding the flowers, frame in truly wonderful view. To the hotels -of both places, which arc within a walk of each other, visitors return year after year, and those who come for a week "to see" find the process usually takes them three months or so. thus they too be come practically residents. Evidently then potent are the charms of this mar velous corner of the coast, with Its glorious woodlands and Joyous health giving atmosphere. From Colriers Grand Hotel, on the edge of the woods at Yalcscure, the links are but two miles away, the most enticing walk Imaginable, after an earlv breakfast on a balcony. Thence comes a whiff of the salt sea sparkling and purling with foaming fringe round the cove and Inlets of St. Raphael's Bav. and from that place itself the walk Is about the same distance, bear ing northeast. The links are new, and as regards position are perhaps the most beauti ful existing. The club, which is in the capable and exnerlenced hands of that well-known sportsman. Mr. Madge, who has done so much for the Riviera ten nis and croquet tournaments, possesses a cozy residential clubhotise. a large, long, well-built bungalow, and besides the public rooms and wide plarza look ing on a wealth of blooming beds, has a good many private suites. Three holes to complete the 18 are In the making, and the greens, etc., are In the process of amelioration, for Mr. Madge Intends that it shnll be whilst sporting, one of the best of all possible links as well as the healthiest and most beauti ful.

Lord Montagu, of Beaulleii: Owen Seamen, editor of mtrth-glvlng Punch: Burdett Coutts, widower of the celebrated philanthropic baroness; William P. Ward. F. S. Bar nard, of Victoria. B.

About once a week the Kurhaus ad ministration arranges a little "hop" In the large concert hall and every fort night a garden fete with falry-Uke Illuminations and splendid fireworks takes place.

Beutiful riding paths are laid out In the woods and excellent horses can be obtained. The races at Wiesbaden taking plac- at the end of May. June.

The Kaiser is usually in the best of spirits during his visit, for he loves Wiesbaden. But Wiesbaden's beauties are not all above ground it is even interesting below, for the town sewer is a sight worth seeing to everybody and this Ideal drainage system makes it one of the healthiest towns of Germany. The hotel accommodations are per fect. The fashionablo world of Europe and America make It a point to come to Wiesbaden at least once a year and. consequently, all nations are repre sented at the usual promenade hour In the "VVIlhelmstrasse," which is the Fifth avenue of New Tork or the Re gent Ftreet of London.
